Yes, well, I have my own reservations about the way the religion is practiced anyway.

Quite frankly, I see things this way:

God is such an all-powerful being, with responsibility over the entirety of the universe, which leads me to believe he has a lot bigger things to worry about than whether I sit in Church for 2 hours singing every Sunday, or whether I decide to toss a few burgers down the gullet on Friday. Does he really give a flying f**k? I don't think so.

Perspective, people, perspective. Christianity, with all the good it embodies, is also just like any other religion: both eyes on keeping the sheep herded.

And if an administrator wants to ban me for that, so be it. In fact, I invite one here myself.

***he has a lot bigger things to worry about***

God doesn't "worry" about anything.


***Does he really give a flying f**k? I don't think so. ***

What did Jesus say...

"And the very hairs on your head are all numbered."


***Christianity, with all the good it embodies, is also just like any other religion:***

Are you sure you're a Christian?

I believe he does. As a Christian, I love to go to church and the Bible does teach that God loves our worship. However I agree with you in that I don't see anywhere in the Bible that childrens' books are somehow evil

Why are you so condemning of the statments that would apply to Catholics mainly and not to you if you aren't?

You seem very aggrieved that the head of the Catholic church is addressing Catholics on this point.

Ask that question after your particular judgment.
